Last week's post mentioned that our vacation included a ski trip with our friends out in Colorado. For most people, a trip out West to ski picture-perfect trails coated in fresh powder would not induce anxiety. But for me, it did. This trip was the first time I had a been on a mountain in FOUR years. …

We were on a break
Well, I was on a break from technology and social media over the past two weeks. For the first time since last June my husband and I had a vacation together. We got to spend time with friends and family and visit the beauty that Colorado and California has to offer. It was a well …
Partner Workout
It is incredibly rare that my husband and I have several hours in a day to spend together. Normally we have two to three hours in the evening right before bed where we scarf down some food and watch a show. But before we know it our eyelids get too heavy for us and we …
Cold days call for HOT Yoga
I am one of those people who prefers being hot over being cold. During these winter months my toes are constantly hurting because they are so cold and I get this inner chill that is hard to shake. As a yogi, the best way to escape the bitter temperatures is to head to the nearest …
My First Snow
Well, my first snow in quite some time. If you live on the East coast then you have probably encountered a bit of snow over the past 24 hours. I woke up this morning in Central New Jersey with a backyard full of snow and a driveway ready to shovel. I haven't experienced this type …
It Only Took 28 Years

Meditation March – Day 8
If gold stars were still given out in adulthood then I would already have 8! Every day since last Saturday I have incorporated yoga into my daily schedule. I have attended three vinyasa yoga classes at my gym, completed 4 yoga classes via the internet, and added 15 minutes of sun salutations, poses, and binds, …
March: a Month of Meditation
March first. The first day, of the third month of the year. What better day than today to start a monthly challenge? I have decided that March shall be the month where I practice yoga every single day. This doesn't mean that I will be spending hours each day bound in warrior two, but I …
Getting My Sweat On
...in the living room. Yes, sometimes time for the gym is not a luxury I have, and other times, I am just tired of working out on the same old machines. So, that is when I grab my trusty yoga mat, some tunes, and my Pinterest board to do some home workouts. I usually like to …
